[edit] Religion and Religious Facilities

Lehman is unwavering in its Catholicism, as a four-year comprehensive religion program is required of all students and weekly Friday Mass binds the school community together. However, the school welcomes students from all diverse backgrounds and cultures. Mass is celebrated almost daily in the school's Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Chapel. This chapel is a beautiful structure with Eucharistic Adoration Chapel, Confessional, Stained Glass Art, traditional Catholic statuary, Ceramic Baptismal Font, in-laid Italian ceramic tile, 10-foot crucifix, Steinway & Sons Baby Grand Piano, Organ, and seating for 175.
